Toward the nature of automatic associations: item-level computational semantic similarity and IAT-based alcohol-valence associations
Automatic associations involving alcohol have been proposed to play a role in drinking behavior. Such associations are often assessed using implicit measures such as the Implicit Association Test (...

Adding a first post here, shamelessly linking to probably my favourite of my academic papers: Toward the nature of automatic associations: item-level computational semantic similarity and IAT-based alcohol-valence associations. www.tandfonline.com/eprint/HQSV7....
Combines an IAT and word2vec.

Got to the standard ending for Silksong - I've read about there being a whole other act I didn't have the prerequisites for :D But this was fine, kind of enough for me. Even though with hindsight the difficulty was tuned alright, it feels worse than it is (I cheesed the Bilewater boss though).

Just back from going to Frankenstein, but I really didn't vibe with it - I think I lasted an hour and snuck out. Just boring and awkward, for some reason.

Movie of the weekend: One Battle After Another. It's one I think I have to digest more. Funny, weird, sort of timely but it's not I think really about the politics, except maybe right at the end it does seem to shift that way. It reminds me of how I felt about Burn After Reading.

I'm very grateful to environmental scientist Sam Matey-Coste showing me these Our World In Data charts when we had a chat recently.

Yes, so much is a worrying, enraging mess right now. But the bigger picture is a little more reassuring.

Film of the weekend: Spinal Tap II. Liked it! Similar to the new Naked Gun, just a fundamentally positive piece of work. I'm probably just too generally beaten down to properly laugh at stuff much anymore, but as with Naked Gun definitely had a few sensible chuckles, so score.

Why aren’t Labour talking about the risk to families living in Britains most deprived communities? If you are a single parent mum, who can’t afford to take time off work and rest, you have a 3 factor risk of #LongCovid

We in Labour are uniquely placed to bring our diverse country together against the forces of hate. When we stand up for each other, we all win.

'We win when we fight together – that's the story Labour needs to tell' - LabourList
We can never give in to the forces that would divide us and send us backwards. The answer is the Labour winning over a broad coalition for our future.

I read this tip somewhere about getting a standard supermarket pizza but them pimping it up with better ingredients.
Just tried it and very much a success :O (Also in terms of it staying under the very low bar of realistic effort I'm currently going to put into cooking.)

Went to see The Roses - found it OK, but couldn't quite get on board with the Theo character, or maybe how Cumberbatch acted him; there was a charisma imbalance there versus Ivy/Colman. He was kind of the bad guy which I think isn't the aim. Film's possibly a useful relationship therapy tool though!

Weirdly I almost walked at at the start because it felt very boring, but that was obviously temporary.

I'm very much still not in shape at all, but compared to last year when I started picking up simple bodyweight(*) exercises again, it's definitely got a lot better. I'm not feeling much from my little set of lunges etc that'd have me limping for three days before :D
(*) which is <a lot> kg though.
